I like films and often write about them, usually for Film Stories.
Today is going as well as you'd imagine.
It’s 1am and someone is wielding a chainsaw and an earth auger outside.
I apologise in advance to anyone who has to deal with me tomorrow.

I had fun with The Running Man but it’s also a film that I’ve mostly forgotten by now, less than a week after watching it. 🙂

“Emotional, feminine” —> Villain!
Chloe Zhao’s ‘Hamnet’ is emotional, feminine, directed by an Oscar winner. But it’s also not Sinners or One Battle After Another. Here’s why it’s looking like the year’s first Oscars villain.

Still not completely convinced by #DieMyLove, a film that loses its power by becoming far too repetitive for far too long, but Lynne Ramsay’s latest sure does capture pretty much every fear I have about becoming a parent and why I have chosen not to become one. #ChildFreeByChoice

How we picked tonight’s movie:
Me: “Let’s watch something really nice tonight.”
Lathan: “What do you want to watch?”
Me: “MIDSOMMAR!”
So our nice movie tonight was a movie where someone was cooked alive inside a bear. 🐻

Big fan of this week’s episode of #Peacemaker, still one of the most exciting shows on TV right now.
This week’s #Peacemaker episode ends on a bit of a shock and shows there’s still plenty of power in James Gunn’s DCU.
